Drums at home

Hi People!
I'm recording drums tomorrow for the 1st time at my home studio.
Last minute posting, I know, but my isp was down!

I've done this in a real studio before but never in my home unit.

The room I'm using is my living room which has the usual 8' ceiling.
I think its about 15'x15.

I know there have been recording drums questions check this

I have an old CB percussion kit. It has been refitted with all new remo pinstripe heads and a newly tuned snare, cymbals and pedals/hardware. I cant get a decent recording out of it at all, i dont know what I'm doign wrong. the bass drum maybe too narrow for the bass response i want or the mic could be positioned wrong.

recording drums

Hi.
For my bands demo I'm recording drums by using a mixture of mics and the roland TD6 module. the reason why i turned to this approach is because the acoustics are very bad and the module works wonders in this kind of situation.

mics are used for the cymbols & hi-hat where as the TD6 module is used for the snare bass and toms.
